Title : Public Key Pinning Extension for HTTP
Authors : Chris Evans

Filename : draft-ietf-websec-key-pinning-20.txt
Pages : 26

Abstract:
This document describes an extension to the HTTP protocol allowing
web host operators to instruct user agents to remember ("pin") the
hosts' cryptographic identities for a given period of time. During
that time, UAs will require that the host present a certificate chain
including at least one Subject Public Key Info structure whose
fingerprint matches one of the pinned fingerprints for that host. By
effectively reducing the number of authorities who can authenticate
the domain during the lifetime of the pin, pinning may reduce the
incidence of man-in-the-middle attacks due to compromised
Certification Authorities.
